    Hi,

    First of all I want to say that your site has some great information and I think it’s awesome that you dedicate your time to helping clueless souls like myself haha. However, onto my question:

    My boss approached me at work a few weeks back and told me his wife works with a cute single girl and he thinks we would be great match. I agreed to meet her and he gave us each others email address’s to correspond with. After a few emails it turns out we did have a few things in common and we set up a date to meet each other. The date went great, we talked, laughed and I really felt a “spark” between us. When I paid for the meal she mentioned that she will pay the next time we went out so I felt pretty good that the date was going well, and even at the very end of the date we hugged and I asked if she wanted to meet again – she accepted. I would have asked for her number at this point but she already gave it to me before we met (in case we couldn’t fine each other at the restaurant). I felt the date went flawless, and couldn’t have hoped for anything better. However, 2 days later she emails me and tells me that she doesn’t think we have enough in common and that we shouldn’t see each other again. At this point I was very confused at what went wrong so I called her the next day and we talked for a few minutes over the phone. She told me she knows what she’s looking for and just wasn’t feeling it that night so I accepted her decision and decided to move on.

    It’s been nearly a week now since then and I’m started to get this feeling that I should contact her again and tell her I think if she gave me another chance she would see that we really are compatible, that I’m a fun person to hang out with, and a very easy person to get along with. I felt a spark that night and can’t just let that slip away so easily. A part of me is telling me not to do it because it sounds crazy and I just need to move on, but another part of me is saying if I want it… go for it. At the very least I want to know why such a great date turned into a rejection without any warning whatsoever.

    I’m a 23 year old guy that (embarrassingly) has never had a girlfriend. Maybe the thought of finally finding a girl, then having it all slip away is just leaving me distraught and I’m not sure how to deal with it.

    Any advice would be appreciated! 🙂
    Thanks

    No need to feel embarrassed at being 23 and never having had a girlfriend. You are so very not alone. That said, this woman has had some dating experience and is focused on finding Mr. Right. You’re not it for her, and while you can decide to try and win her over in spite of her clarity, it’s not something I’d recommend. I think you’d be wasting your time.

    I do think you should get my book for men who want to do well in dating, called Date Out of Your League. It’s written specifically for men, and it’s rich with advice for someone like you. You can download it here: [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/date-out-of-your-league.html[/url]. So, please buy it, read it and ask me any further questions after you learn everything you need to about Dating 101 in this quick read! 😉
